Exclusive: Nick Nevern Interview

harchester.net (December 2006)

How did you get the role of Kovac? My agent called me and told me to get me arse down to Bromley by Bo where I had an acting audition, then was called back the next day for a football audition.

How did you first get into acting and what other roles have you had? I got into acting after I failed me a levels (twice). I managed to get a place at a very respected drama school (still not sure how the hell I got in you know… lol) and the love with the whole process of acting started there. I have played a few parts in my time but things to check out next year are… Hotel Babylon, Bonkers and a small cameo in the film I Want Candy…and I do mean small.

Had you seen Dream Team prior to joining and what were your opinions? Simple answer….No

Who were your best buddies on the show? Man I don't know they are all sound…They were all very supportive and great to work with….if I was to pick out a few….got to be John (Moody) Jamie (Dempsey) James ( Lopez) and Tyson….sounds like a bad nursery rhyme…. John, Jamie, James er and Tyson…lol

Were you told you would be written out so soon after joining? Yes…straight away when I got the job.

In the short time, what did you think were Kovac's best attributes? Kind heart, killer feet and a sick arse tattoo

In the short time, what did you think were Kovac's worst attributes? Cancer and not in the show for long enough…lol

Are you anything like Kovac in real life? Not really, part from the fact the man looks just like me…its spooky

If you met Kovac in real life, would you be good friends or arched enemies? No I am messing around now….He is a really sincere guy with a good heart and if he was a real person I would love to be his mate.

In your short time, what was your favourite scene to film? Easy question….the scene with me and Jamie when I come into the hotel room and tell him I have cancer…We had so much fun doing it….The door handle come off in my hand at one point and Jamie said, Nick….welcome to Dream Team! I think that it is very well acted on both mine and Jamie's part and the lighting and direction were amazing (big up Ian D Fleming who directed ep 4)

In your short time, what was your worst scene to film? The shower scene with Frankie (Porter). I'm meant to be a pro footballer….I could have held me stomach in a little better..

Are you a fan of football? Yes sir

What football team do you support? CHELSEA….CARE FREE WHEREEVER WE MAY BE…..WE ARE THE FAMOUS CFC…..i wonder how may people will stop reading now…

How did you be spend Christmas day? With me mum

What's the most important thing to you at Christmas? Family and friends

Favourite Christmas Food? Nice big bird (take that how you want to)

Favourite Christmas Drink? Champaign for my real friends and real pain for my shame friends

Do you have any New Years Resolutions? Yes sir…..Go to the gym

What do you usually do on New Years Eve, and how will you be spending this year? Party time

We've found out your into your music. How did this come about? Well I have been in to music for a very long time…I come from a very musical family…I play the piano and love all forms of music…I'm very much into hip hop….if anyone wants to check out my stuff please don't feel shy…www.myspace.com/uranghiphop…..pass by anytime

Where would you like to be (both personally and professionally) in 10 years time? Hopefully still acting…..maybe find myself a nice girl and settling down….lol

Describe your perfect day. Sunny, good times with good friends

Describe your perfect date. Chinese food, good company

Describe your perfect partner. Female…..breathing….

And finally, what every fan wants to know, is there any chance you'll be back at the end of the Series? Well the truth is guys that I don't really know…I have heard rumours saying yes….but for every rumour saying yes there's one that says I don't think so. I would love to come back to finish this character off and its nice that there are people out there who would also like the same.

I would just like to end by saying thank you to Harchester.net and all the Dream Team fans for taking an interest in a 2 episode character….my heart goes out to all of you….have a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year….
P.S….BRING BACK PAVEL KOVAC
